The pitch

The on a plane is the space between the seats of a row and another. Basically is what separates first class or tourist business. That and the free food.

Some pundits thought it would get more benefit to more people getting a flight and selling more tickets. That way you have airplanes with more rows than they had for 5 years but in the same cabin. This is achieved by changing the settings. If you do not use seats specially designed for this type of configuration (no recliners, magazines pocket up, etc) get smaller pitch.

And the small picth is something that is noticeable if you are tall or if you fly long hours. Especially if the front passenger reclining pro gives without asking or if the next is with your legs apart as if stung. And if you carry on luggage under the front seat, can be torture.

Who often fly sure you know what I mean. Here you have a Dilbert strip that surely brings back memories to many. Who has not been supported with the laptop on the table, half open, his neck twisted to see the screen ...?

"In three or four weeks, the entire financial system collapsed, and the result was that our shareholders were unable to continue supporting the company," said Sterling.

A real shame. Personally, although I have not flown with them, I have been following closely and I think it took a very good business strategy in the past two years, knowing fully exploit the technology in its (Intermet and ) and doing defnitiva things right. www.sterling.dk was a site of reference for everyone working in airlines, in the field of Internet sales channels and .

The following graph corresponds to the evolution of www.sterling.dk Alexa for the past 6 months:

The graph can be interpreted as the bankruptcy has been the end of a process that took time to boil. As can be seen, interest in www.sterling.dk decreased progressively from July this year to reach minimum levels in October. This decrease can be related to the need to cease investment in online marketing due to lack of funds.

No longer appeared yesterday adwords Streling direct but still appeared those of online that also distribute Sterling. In fact, November 1 still appear E-dreams adwords promoting Sterling. Do you spend unnecessarily?, You'll see the financial!

I hope you finally find a solution and that Sterling does not disappear, and I am puzzled to see the fragility with which you can drop a company like this.
